3 Demonstration wind farms Small scale systems at Matrouh Governorate on the Mediterranean coast Two grid connected systems one is 6x25Kw Wind turbines installed at Ras-Elhekma village and the second is 3x25Kw wind turbines at El- Rowysat village(1997) A hybrid wind / diesel system of 5x25 Kw turbines +2x100 Kw diesel engines at a remote village and connected to 380 v local grid

7 5.2 Mw wind farm at Hurghada on the Red Sea coast The farm includes 42 units with different technologies and capacities from US, Denmark, and Germany (2blades, 3blades, pitch control, stall control, lattice & tubular, tower 100&300 Kw units). Some components were locally manufactured such as blades, towers, mechanical and electrical joints which represent about 40% of the wind turbine ( ).

10 Large scale grid connected wind farms on Suez Gulf A- Zafarana An area about 80 Km sq earmarked for NREA to implement large-scale grid connected wind farms. The infrastructure of the site has been completed including substations 22/ Kv, residential buildings for stuff, workshop and internal roads. An area of about 64 km sq to the west of the site was earmarked as an extension for the same site.

11 Zafarana 425 MW Wind Farm The farm has been implemented and operated into stages, since 2001, in cooperation with Germany, Denmark, Spain and Japan. The turbines with different technologies and capacities

12 Zafarana projects Zafarana (1) Danida 30 Mw 50x600Kw Nordex Since April 2001 Zafarana (2) KFW 33 Mw 55x600Kw Nordex Since may 2001 Zafarana (3) Danida 30 Mw 46x660Kw Vestas Since Nov 2003 Zafarana (4) KFW 47 Mw 71x660Kw Nordex Since June2004

16 B- Gabal El-Zeit. 700 km sq was earmarked at Gabal El-Zeit. The new site is classified with excellent wind speed that reaches to 10.5m/s and can host about 3000 Mw wind power plants

18 National strategy for wind energy up to 2020 In April 2007, the Supreme Council of Energy in Egypt has adopted a resolution, on an ambitious plan to cover 20% of the generated electricity by renewable energy by 2020, including a 12% contribution from wind energy, translating about 7200 MW grid-connected wind farms. Such plan gives a room enough to the private investments to play the major role in realizing this goal. It is anticipated that about 400 MW/year will be undertaken by the private sector and NREA will carry out about 200 MW/year.

19 Lands for the projects : Wind Atlas for Egypt indicates that there are many promising areas to host wind energy projects, particularly on the Gulf of Suez, East & West of the Nile Valley. Currently procedures are being taken to earmark the following areas

20 (a) 1300 km sq as an extension of NREA site at the North of Gabal El-Zayt (b) Areas at upper Egypt *604 km sq East of Nile River, Governorates of Bani Swaif & AlMenia. *4236 km sq West of Nile River, Governorates of Bani Swaif & Al-Menia. *1611 km sq East of Nile River, Governorates of Al-Menia & Assuit

23 Technology transfer activities It was established in cooperation with Denmark in 1992 as manufacturing the blades of Wincon100 Kw turbines in Suez shipyard and Nordtank 300Kw turbines in Arab Organization Industry and towers in Iron and Steel company.

24 in 1995 the cooperation with Riso national libratory for Testing and certification of wind turbines and Power quality assessment Power quality has been executed at Hrghada site (11 kv substation) as well as at Zafarana substation (22 kv ).That's in additional to cables and civil works. The towers of Zafarna projects were manufactured in Egypt too.
